I almost can't believe this! Those who have read my previous threads know that I was "given" a bridal shower to do...and it was yesterday. Boy, I was pumped, ready and really looking forward to doing this shower! The host and I had several conversations (i.e. host coaching). Well, when I got there, I was informed that we were doing this in the garage. (Good thing I wasn't "cooking" anything). It was cold and windy, but I got through that. Then, as all the guests are arriving, they are bringing gifts... I asked the host if she sent out PC bridal shower invites, and she said yes...and she told people that I would be there selling PC (What the bride wanted!). Did my demo, bride helped, and it went great!
Well, to make a looooooooong story short, the bride only received 4 things from her wish list, only had 3 people out of 16 order. (luckily the host had gotten outside orders from her friends...not for the bride). So, sales were only $206. I know it's better than nothing, but I just about fell over when she was opening her gifts and all the people bought her kitchen items. The host apologized to me over and over after everyone left. Yes, I was gracious and kind, but inside I wanted to scream! Thanks for letting me vent..sorry for the long rant. The next one will be better (I won't do another show that's set up by someone else.)
